Get the facts on Immigration reform
Immigration
Americas immigration system is broken. Too many employers game the system by hiring undocumented workers and there are 11 million people living in the shadows. Neither is good for the economy or the country.
The Presidents plan builds a smart, effective immigration system that continues efforts to secure our borders and cracks down on employers who hire undocumented immigrants. Its a plan that requires anyone whos undocumented to get right with the law by paying their taxes and a penalty, learning English, and undergoing background checks before they can be eligible to earn citizenship. It requires every business and every worker to play by the same set of rules.
There are four principles to the Presidents common sense proposal:
Continuing to Strengthen Border Security.
Streamlining legal immigration.
Earned Citizenship.
Cracking Down on Employers
Hiring Undocumented Workers.
